Well, my Savage Tide campaign finally came to a successful end. Good game. I enjoyed it, although, I can honestly say that I'm not going to be DMing 3e again for a good long while.
I am, however, becoming a game whore.
Yup, I'm hopping from system to system like a frog crossing a busy street. The premise of our new, erm, campaign? is that we are going to play what I guess I should call campaign vignettes. Instead of starting campaigns that are intended for long term play, each DM will only have 8 session max to tell his or her story. Any system the DM wants, but the 8 session limit is meant to be hard and fast.
We've just started, so I'm not sure how well this is going to work. But, I do have high hopes. I'm currently a fairly hard SF game using Savage Worlds and have discovered that I absolutely LOVE exploding dice. That's just freaking cool.
I guess I should back up a sec and provide a bit more background. I've been playing D&D pretty much exclusively for a really long time. Other than a far too brief stint (like three sessions) playing The Dying Earth, I've done nothing but 3e D&D since about 2001 and even before that, other than a brief stint of GURPS, it was 2e D&D.
I'm tired of D&D for a while. After ten or fifteen years of weekly play, I don't feel too bad about that. But, I pine for the old days when my friends and I would try new games all the time - Star Frontiers, Champions, TMNT, 007, Gang Busters, Battletech and more. So many games. I want that back.
So, that's why I've badgered my group into this plan. Savage Worlds first, followed by Sufficiently Advanced, possibly followed by a Spirit of the Century game based in Terry Pratchett's Discworld, a possible 4e D&D game, and there was some mention of Esoterrorists and Paranoia. SCHWEET.
BTW, if anyone is interested in a short term fling with no long standing commitment, I'm your whipping boy. (oh damn, wrong board. 
)
